Catch up!
Sarah and I continue the odd frantic-yet-sluggish countdown to Baby. (B minus two or three weeks.)
Work is busy. I am doing my best to wrap up all of my projects before B minus zero.
Grand Theft Auto IV is amazing. The world is amazingly realized. It really shows that Rockstar had essentially unlimited time and money to polish GTAIV.
Iron Man was awesome and may, in fact, be the best Marvel movie yet.
I had a birthday! Many awesome things including a sweet portable basketball goal, amazingly convienent gas grill, and cool digital picture frame. Also Sarah got me a MacBook Nano. I knew the touch was going to be awesome, but I didn’t know how awesome. I now catch up on my email on the walk from the parking deck to the library and have wifi in my pocket for whenever I need something from the net.
In site news: I’ve been getting the itch again. Rails (by which I mean Mephisto) is great and all, but now I feel like it is time to give Django a shakedown. Mephisto is large and in charge, but rather slow as well. While it doesn’t suffer from the horrible horrible mixture of logic and presentation that plagues Wordpress, it doesn’t exact feel like a lean, mean blogging machine either. Perhaps Blogmaker is the answer.

With the advent of appengine, I’ve been putting django through its paces as well. It improves on rails with its newforms module. The admin module is pretty slick, but I bumped up against its constraints pretty quickly. I’m still evaluating it for serious work, but it seems quite capable.
GTA4 is the bomb. I love how much more realistic the characters reactions are in this iteration. Folks cuss you out when you hit people, cops act like assholes, crackheads huddle around burning trash cans in the middle of nowhere, it’s beautiful.

Testing commenting with the new theme.
GTA 4 is indeed amazing. We should explore its multiplayer offerings at some point, but I am immersed in the single player story.
